SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 504,839, dated September 12, 1893. Application tiled February 1. 1893. Serial No. 460,544. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUSTA B. KNIGHT, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ghatelaines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in chatelaines in which a plurality of branches emanating from the head or knot of the bow are provided with pockets for the reception of articles which maybe found convenient to have at hand.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 represents the bow as it hangs from a supporting device at the waist of the wearer and Fig. 2 represents the opposite or inner side of the bow.

In the form which I have chosen to illustrate my invention the bow is provided with four branches a, a, a and a emanating from a knot A. The number of branches may however be more or less than four as may be found desirable. The bow is suspended in the present instance by means of a loop B provided with a ring 6 which may be inserted in a hook O suspended from a belt D around the waist of the person. Some or all of the branches of the bow, in the present instance all of them, are provided with pockets on their sides toward the person of the wearer. The pockets are represented as follows: That on the branch (L by E, the pocket in this instance extending both above and below the opening e through which access to the interior of the pocket is had; the pocket on the inside of the branch a is denoted by E; that on the branch (L by E and that on the branch a by E. The pockets may be formed by securing facing pieces to the inner sides of the several branches or the ends of the branches may be folded over and secured along their edges to the part against which they are folded. The material of which the bow is formed may be silk or any other appropriate material and, so far as its external appearance is concerned, the bow presents an unbroken face and has the appearance of an ornamental piece of dress. The several independent pockets on the inner sides of the branches of the bow may be utilized for carrying keys, car tickets, pen knife, spectacles, scissors or any other of the numerous articles which it is found desirable to have at hand about the house, during a journey or on a shopping excursion.

The chatelaine bow constructed as above hangs closely at the side and the several different pockets serve to separate the articles so that any one of them may be readily selected without overhauling the others.

What I claim is 1. Achatelaine bow comprising a plurality of branches provided on their inner sides with pockets, and means for suspending the bow from the person of the wearer substantially as set forth.

2. A chatelaine bow comprising a plurality of branches emanating from a knot or head and provided on their inner sides with pockets and means for suspending the bow from the person of the wearer, substantially as set forth.

AUGUSTA B. KNIGHT.
